On this day, a few people were absent from school.
Xiao Ning applied for sick leave. Gu Xuexue was in the headlines and didn’t dare to come to class at all. Gu Yuanyuan was frightened by her own pet dog and hid in the hospital to see a psychiatrist.
Bai Yingzhu knelt in the ancestral hall of the Bai family and slapped herself repeatedly until her face was swollen. She didn’t even dare to close her eyes.
Otherwise, a servant would pour a bucket of ice water over her from head to toe, making her feel cold.
It was fine if the scumbags behind didn’t come, but since Xiao Ning didn’t come, Gu Qiqi was really a little worried. She wanted to see her, but she replied that she had just caught a cold and would be fine after sleeping.
Gu Qiqi couldn’t help but frown. Xiao Ning used to be in good health. Why did she catch a cold all of a sudden recently? Had she become weaker?
Could it be related to that scumbag uncle…
Gu Qiqi was thinking of a way to worm the truth about Xiao Ning’s uncle out. Before she could think of a solution, Yang Xiaolan came to the veterinary school to look for her.
The little girl’s face flushed red. She was holding a bank card in her hand and was a little at a loss.
Gu Qiqi smiled and asked, “Was Uncle Yang happy after winning the war yesterday?”
Yang Xiaolan nodded. Looking at Gu Qiqi’s admiring gaze, she was like a little fangirl looking at her male idol. “Dad was especially happy. He was full of energy. He specially gave me two poached eggs for breakfast today. If I didn’t stop him, I reckon that he would have beaten four poached eggs for me to celebrate…”
Gu Qiqi said, “Ahem, ahem, ahem! Uncle’s way of celebrating is quite down-to-earth. Then, go home tonight and tell him that this is only the beginning. I’ve already found a rather reliable lawyer and am prepared to send Yang Xiaoqing and the scammers from Qing Yuxuan a big gift…”
Although it was satisfying to let Lan Ting crush Qing Yuxuan in business, only by really taking back Iron Fist Yang’s design and letting the plagiarist suffer the consequences of his own actions and ruining his reputation forever could she really seek justice for Iron Fist Yang.
Yang Xiaolan looked at Gu Qiqi deeply.
Gu Qiqi really didn’t say that she would help their Yang family casually. On a whim, she had a very meticulous plan that was interconnected. It wasn’t as if she could just vent her anger and be done with it. Instead, she wanted to really and thoroughly seek justice for them!
Yang Xiaolan’s big eyes turned misty. She mustered her courage and stuffed the bank card into Gu Qiqi’s hand. “Qiqi, my father said that he would give this to you. You deserve this.”
“What is this?” Gu Qiqi stopped smiling and frowned.
“The turnover from last night was a total of 90 million dollars.”
“Nonsense! This money is Lan Ting’s income. Why is your Yang family giving it to me?!”
“Qiqi, without you, there won’t be Lan Ting… If you don’t accept it, I’ll… I’ll kneel down in front of all my classmates…”
Gu Qiqi felt a headache coming on. “Stop fooling around, Xiaolan. Be good. Listen to me. I don’t lack money, but Lan Ting is at a critical moment in its development. If you want to go to school, you can’t possibly stand on the counter every day and you should hire an employee, right? We’re going to open a branch in the Chu clan’s place after renting a spot. We’ll need a large sum of money to pay rent soon, right? Also, the jade raw materials… Yesterday’s goods have been swept clean by the noblewomen. How can we make the next batch of goods without raw materials? If we can’t make them, this market that we’ve worked so hard to conquer will be occupied by others again…”
Indeed, Gu Qiqi’s words enlightened Yang Xiaolan.
Especially when Gu Qiqi mentioned that there were no raw materials. Actually, Father Yang had already begun to worry in the morning.
Buying jade raw materials cost a lot of money, but he would rather not be able to afford the raw materials than not express his gratitude to Gu Qiqi first.
He was willing to give this 90 million dollars to Gu Qiqi without taking a single cent.
This was his character and gratitude!
Seeing the hesitation in Yang Xiaolan’s eyes, Gu Qiqi knew that she had guessed their situation correctly.
She stretched out her hand and rubbed Yang Xiaolan’s long hair. She had an idea and whispered—
